5 Top Tips To Transform Your Garden For The Family

Spending time outside with your little ones is vital for their development and it's a great way to let off some steam while enjoying the changing seasons. If your garden needs a child's touch to make it more appealing for play, or to add a splash of colour, then these ideas may be just the thing you need. They will certainly help to put some magic into your outdoor space!
 
 



Standard terracotta style pots can be a little boring and also prone to breakages when children are running about. When your kids grow out of their funky wellies simply upcycle them as planters instead! You can stand them in a row to display an array of pretty flowers or hang them from a fence at eye level. Either way, they will brighten the patio nicely and draw in the butterflies and bees.

Rock Pets




Not every parent wants the expense or hassle of a real pet so these cute little rock pets should keep the kids amused for a while atleast! They are great for travel as they fit in the kids pockets too.









What you will need

Smooth rocks/pebbles
White paint
Stickers, goggily eyes, paint, glue etc to decorate them.

How to make them

1) We used pebbles that were already white from the local garden centre but you can always find some from your own garden and paint them white beforehand as the base colour.

2) Decorate the rock as your favourite bug or animal.

3) Leave them for a few hours for the paint and glue to dry completely and then the kids can play with them. You can even make them some mini homes out of old boxes for them too.


The Mini Mes have decided to keep theirs on the window to display hence all the glitter!
